  9. I’m So Bored with the USA

  10. Ravi Shankar

  11. Only because of his song of that name; otherwise I’m kinda stumped for this question.

26

  3. Bjork

  4. 99 Luftballoons

  5. AC/DC

  6. Tom Waits

  7. Reggae

  8. sitar

  9. Breakfast In America

  10. Ravi Shankar

  11. Yeah, I looked it up. I don’t think we have many Ulvaeus in Oklahoma.

  12. Does Sigur Ros have any hits in the U.S.?

  13. Spinal Tap is not an American band.

  14. zither, koto, djembe, didgeredoo, doumbek, tabla…

  7. Reggae
  8. Sitar
  9. “American Woman” by the Guess Who
  10. Ladysmith Black Mambazo

I’ll admit I had to look up an answer for #2. Otherwise, I would have had to guess “B”.

30
  1. Dancing Queen
  2. Bjorn
  3. Ace of Base
  4. Gasolina

  2. Not a clue, sorry.

  3. Aqua

  4. La Bamba

  5. Midnight Oil

  6. Jake Shimabukuro

  7. Calypso

  8. Sitar

  9. American Woman

  10. Johnny Clegg

  11. I can’t believe that I don’t know a single member of ABBA.

  12. I’ll bet that not many people listed Shimabukuro, but, for the life of me, I couldn’t think of anyone else. Spinal Tap is British. I’m not sure Weird Al counts, despite his tours in Japan. And my long-ago ex’s long-since-broken-up band probably won’t win me any points. I don’t remember what those guys called themselves, anyway.

  12. No clue. He’s weird, Japan’s weird.

  13. Conch, surely.

36

But you’re both from the UK. How is this “world music”.

And on the same question: Enya? Bjork?

World Music

It is a somewhat silly term, but it does have a widely accepted meaning.

4: At least I hope I did it big in the US, quite a catching tune :smiley:
6: Who did a cover of “Big in Japan”
8: Or however you spell it
9: By Rammstein

38

They divorced quite a few years ago, but I doubt you have that many Fältskogs in Oklahoma either :wink:

Enya, since it was the first result that came up (that I recognized) when I googled “world music” + artist

39

Fair enough. She’s Irish and her music is not identified with a particular part of the world, so I wouldn’t classify her as World Music myself, but it’s no big deal.

Actually, I’m not sure I’d classify her as music. :wink:

40

There’s loads of Byrne stuff in the World Music section of your big music store - or there should be. He practically invented Worldbeat. And Fela Kuti would have done me no better! :smiley:
